Education Highlights

All Building Knowledge Starts Here

IBS education is in demand! The number of attendees getting full registrations (with access to all education sessions) has grown 40% over the last two years because builders and industry professionals know that IBS keeps you up to date on the latest trends, the newest techniques and the most forward-thinking business strategies.

With over 100 education sessions in 10 tracks that cover the breadth of the entire building industry, you’ll find the know-how you’re looking for as well as insight you never expected.

New Education Track: Building Techniques, Systems & Materials

You asked, and we answered! Building on the success of the demos in the High-Performance Building Zone at IBS 2014, we’ve added an entire track devoted to the “how-to’s” of modern home building and remodeling.

Learn from the Top Minds in Building

Speaker ratings are at an all-time high! In 2015, you’ll hear from the most-highly rated speakers from past shows and we’ve recruited 70 brand new voices to bring fresh perspectives.
